Frequently Asked Question
What is the purpose of a pipe bushing?
A pipe bushing helps join pipes of different diameters by reducing the size of a fitting. They're essential in piping systems where you need to connect pipes without compromising pressure, flow, or integrity, often using materials like stainless steel or malleable iron.
What does a bushing do plumbing?
In plumbing, a pipe bushing allows for secure transitions between different diameters of pipe. Often made from cast iron or stainless steel, bushings help maintain proper flow and pressure while ensuring leak-proof connections in various piping systems.
Is a bushing the same as a reducer?
While both reduce pipe size, a pipe bushing fits inside a larger pipe or fitting, whereas a reducer connects externally. Bushings are more compact and often threaded, commonly found in hex bushing form for easy installation in connecting pipes.
Are bushings allowed in gas piping?
Yes, pipe bushings are allowed in gas piping systems, provided they meet code and are made of approved materials like malleable iron or cast iron. They must be used properly to connect pipes of different diameters without causing leaks.
